<h2>About the Event</h2>
<p>Join Columbia Gorge Community College, Gorge Literacy and the Friends of The Dalles&mdash;Wasco County Public Library in a community-wide shared reading experience. Between now and April 25th, read <a href="http://cgcc.sage.eou.edu/eg/opac/record/1313925?query=Reaching%20out;qtype=keyword;locg=176"><em>Reaching Out</em></a> by Francisco Jiménez. Books available at your college and local libraries.</p>
<p><a href="http://cgcc.sage.eou.edu/eg/opac/record/1313925?query=Reaching%20out;qtype=keyword;locg=176"><em>Reaching Out</em></a>, the third book in the Jiménez memoir trilogy, follows the author&rsquo;s journey from high school through college. Leaving his home in Bonetti Ranch, a migrant community of dilapidated army barracks with no indoor plumbing or drinkable water, he sets off for college. He leaves behind a family struggling to pay for food and rent and a desperate broken father. Carrying memories of years of poverty and prejudice with him, he enters a world different from his own, and one in which he struggles not only with self-doubt about succeeding academically but also with finding work to send enough money home.</p>
<p>Yet as he types other student&#39;s papers in exchange for clothing, as he studies hard, as he meets with unexpected kindness, he uses those very memories of struggle and his family&#39;s values to see his way forward.</p>

<h2>About the Event</h2>
<p>Visit the We Speak mural, celebrating its 20th anniversary. Showing at various locations in the Gorge throughout April. Tour maps available.</p>
<p>Sponsored by ALANA (Asians, Latinos, African and Native Americans for Justice and Peace), the We Speak mural was dedicated on October 4, 1992 in Portland, Oregon. In response to the celebrations surrounding the Quincentenary of Columbus&rsquo; arrival in America, a group of artists and community activists from different cultural backgrounds came together to make art for social change with the belief that culture has the power to build community, educate and inspire.</p>
<p>They believed that it was important to speak clearly of the dangerous, hidden lessons within the Columbus &ldquo;myth:&rdquo; might makes right, progress above human life or the natural environment, people of other cultures are inferior and stronger nations have the right to dominate weaker ones. They reminded everyone that 1992 also marked 500 years of rich, cultural traditions that have flourished in spite of repression. The mural was their attempt to give voice to these vital stories and historical facts. Now, at its twentieth anniversary, the message of We Speak has not changed.</p>

<h2>About the Presenter</h2>
<p><a href="https://ladanyalzadeh.wordpress.com/">Ladan Yalzadeh</a> is an award winning filmmaker, published author, and an internationally renowned performance artist, as well as a working class immigrant, a woman still fighting for equality, and a survivor of war working for non-aggression. Her credits include, but are not limited to, <a href="http://vimeo.com/3802880"><em>The Florist</em></a> (Best Short Film award at the Noor Film Festival in Los Angeles) and 10+Seattle - a 9/11 Day of Reflection (a 10 year anniversary event remembering 9/11).</p>
<p>In 2007, the Spring Humanities Series explored the people and cultures of the Middle East and endeavored to provide a context for building greater understanding of Middle Eastern realities. Ms. Yalzadeh was able to provide insights into Iranian culture and life, and we were treated to a viewing of <a href="http://vimeo.com/3802880"><em>The Florist</em></a>, as well as a reading of her script for a movie in development. Since she was here, she has continued her interest in filmmaking, at the same time exploring other art mediums including installation pieces and events. She will give us an update on her activities and share her perspective on how Iranian culture is portrayed in American media.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.osd.k12.or.us/">Oregon School for the Deaf</a> participates annually in <a href="http://www.poetryoutloud.org/">Poetry Out Loud</a>, a regional, state and national competition which focuses on students and their ability to interpret, memorize and deliver poetry to an audience. The students rise to the challenge in coming up with ways to deliver a poem in their native language, <a href="http://nad.org/issues/american-sign-language">American Sign Language (ASL)</a>.</p>
<p>Presenters will include Michael Taylor Clark, Mid-valley Regional Poetry Out Loud champion and qualifier for the state competition, and Lyndsie Onaka, Poetry Out Loud finalist. The student poets are accompanied by Robert J. Rich (OSD reading and literature teacher, Zen Master, and resident ASL poet) and Gayle Robertson (OSD drama and art teacher, Poetry Out Loud coordinator, and interpreter).</p>
<p>The ASL poets&rsquo; presentation last year made an unforgettable impression. They invited us into their language and taught us to see and &ldquo;hear&rdquo; poetry in a new way. We have brought them back so that more people throughout our community may experience the imagery and beauty that is ASL poetry.></p>
